While looking up spots to try Belgian mussels , the intriguing looking Elfde Gebod came up, nestled in the heart of Antwerp near the Cathedral of Our Lady, it boasts an eye-catching interior filled with religious artifacts and statues, creating a distinctively vibrant and immersive atmosphere. Although some may find the decor a bit tacky or touristy, the quality of the food served here more than makes up for it.
Their mussels with white wine are a standout dish, fresh and flavorful, perfectly showcasing the local cuisine.
The steak was done to a perfect medium rare, with a juicy center and a well-seasoned char, is another highlight. The staff were commendable with welcoming service, which made for a memorable dining experience amidst a truly unique setting.
Fairly pricey food but overall an enjoyable experience.

The restaurant has a wonderful atmosphere, with lots of history and interesting displays. The food was good.
However, they have "live music" (a girl singing to recorded tracks). This totally ruined the experience for us, for 2 reasons: there was an added charge for the food and drink, which was not identified when the reservation was made, and the music was WAY too loud -- we were on the floor above the singer, and we could not hear ourselves talk, and had to shout to the server. We asked if the music could be turned down, and apparently the "singer" said no.
If you are in the mood for a live singer, this may be a good choice for you. If you would like to converse with your dinner companions, then do not go here between 1900 and 2200.

Booked through Fork and then they sent us to a restaurant 5 mins away, with the same kinda atmosphere and menu. That wasn’t clear on fork, as we wanted to stay exactly in this place for the atmosphere.
Inviting and interesting atmosphere. Lots of old statues and religious memorabilia all around. Live music and great bartenders in a really nice location. Excellent beer! Highly recommended.
A delicious stop hidden behind the cathedral in the center of Antwerp. There is much more to discover for curious eyes inside the venue. Create an opportunity and go upstairs. Food and beer varieties are satisfactory. Prices are reasonable, although not cheap.
We tried rabbit stew and mussels with cream sauce accompanied by La Trappe beers.
It is a must-visit on a touristic trip.

Lovely atmospheric restaurant. The food is great, exceeded my expectations. Beef stew and ribs top 👍
We were served by two guys upstairs. Very fast friendly service, everything is served very quickly, we arrived at 6pm and got our food within 15 minutes. At 7pm the restaurant was completely full but everyone got their dishes quickly.
I didn't have inflated expectations for this restaurant as it's quite a touristy place but they surpassed them, they really try hard and offer awesome service and food. Way to go 👍
Thanks for a great evening we will be back again ❤️

We went to the new one by the river and also to the old Elfde Gebod next to the Cathedral. It was amazing how everyone in the service works hard and does their best to ensure great service and the food is amazing and the portions are big and the price is fair. Supper drink selection and a very nice and friendly team, highly recommend!
Live music is played there, which makes the evening especially magical. Thank you for a great experience. See you next time for sure!

Amazingly quirky restaurant, and i think it is the oldest in Antwerp. The food was excellent- we had the meatballs, fish stew and the steak, all cooked to perfection. There was a country musician performing live, and the whole place lit up when he sang Country Road. Strangely wonderful experience in the heart of old town Antwerp (right across from the cathedral).
